His ears suddenly start burning.

That's as good an answer as he's going to get, he figures.

"Wow. Holy hell. That may be the greatest quantum leap of logic you've ever made, Professor."

"You'd tell me if it did, right?"

"Yes!"

"She scares me."

Uh-oh. Aaron said the H-word.

He could've been the hero.

This is not the direction he expected his life taking.

All of this... puts things into perspective.

He's an important person. A powerful person. And he's been squandering his good fortune.

People with ideas can provide the spark. But someone needs to provide the fuel for the fire.

He's the CEO of the largest technology company in Piltover. He needs to start leveraging that.

He looks down at the bouquet of flowers in his hands. Orchids. She likes those.

He can't buy anymore bouquets.

This... isn't the time, or the place. When she's back on her feet, he'll break the news.

He pulls out his hexphone, and texts his secretary. [Call a meeting with the department heads the next time they're all in. We're going to be discussing our action plan for the next fiscal year.]

[Also, get the guys from Aviation in. We're going to be shuffling some of the workforce around.]

It's time to bring down the hammer.

He passes the Professor on the way out. "You're up, Prof."
